Alone

I turn in bed,
And wrap my arms around you,
Just as I have done so many nights,
I squeeze you and hold you against me,
Never letting go,
I burry my face in the hollow of your neck and inhale your familiar scent,
And nothing I could imagine could ever be better than this,
Right here,
Right now,
I lay like this for a long moment,
And even fall asleep,
And then I have that nightmare again,
The worst one,
I wake up,
And your gone,
and a single,
Hot,
Salty,
Tear,
Slides down my face,
And I know that I’m alone again.
